  J.R. Ewing : Fess up, honey.

  Kristin Shepard : What is it?

  J.R. Ewing : I want some answers from you.

  Kristin Shepard : I don't know what you're talking about.

  J.R. Ewing : All right, all right, I'll give you a hint. Hank Johnson just called.

  [gets deer in the headlights look from Kristin] 

  Kristin Shepard : I didn't want to do it, J.R. Alan made me. He threatened to tell Jock about us. Our love affair. I was only protecting you.

  J.R. Ewing : You think you were gonna blackmail me? You and Alan Beam? You're out of your league, honey. You're gonna be sorry you even thought of that.

  Kristin Shepard : [voice quavering]  You can't scare me.

  J.R. Ewing : Takes brains to know when to be scared, honey. And since that's something in short supply around here, I'm gonna help you.

  [ominous tone:] 

  J.R. Ewing : Now is the time to be scared.

  [hands her cash] 

  J.R. Ewing : Exciting weather this time of year down in Rio. Put on one of those pretty string bikinis. You could last at least a year on one of those rich Brazilian businessmen.

  Kristin Shepard : One day somebody's gonna stop you, and I hope I'm there to watch it!

  [throws the money back at him] 

  Kristin Shepard : No way you're gonna buy me off!

  J.R. Ewing : We'll see!

  Kristin Shepard : Come on in.

  Alan Beam : Interesting, isn't it?

  [newspaper with headline Ewing Oil Empire Collapses] 

  Kristin Shepard : That's old news. Been on the TV, radio. J.R. wasn't hurt. He sold those leases.

  Alan Beam : What are you talking about? When?

  Kristin Shepard : Couple of days ago.

  Alan Beam : How do you know?

  Kristin Shepard : I've had... guests.

  [has secret recording] 

  Kristin Shepard : Listen.

  Andy Bradley : [on tape]  J.R. finally let us in on the Asian deal. I'm gonna be a rich man.

  Kristin Shepard : [on tape]  How come?

  Andy Bradley : [on tape]  Some new deal in the works. Says he needs the cash.

  [Kristin switches off] 

  Alan Beam : Who is that?

  Kristin Shepard : One of the cartel members. Andy Bradley.

  Alan Beam : Oh, J.R. must have had advance information those wells would be nationalized.

  Kristin Shepard : I've been trying to figure that out all morning. Maybe Hank Johnson tipped him off.

  Alan Beam : Who's Hank Johnson?

  Kristin Shepard : J.R.'s man in the Far East. He was in charge of the oil wells.

  Alan Beam : Who bought the leases?

  Kristin Shepard : Who else? J.R.'s closest friends and associates.

  Alan Beam : I'll bet those friends and associates would be very interested to know that J.R. had been warned in advance.

  Kristin Shepard : They'd string him up.

  Alan Beam : I'll bet that J.R. would pay plenty to keep them from knowing.

  Kristin Shepard : We have no proof. J.R.'s too smart for that. He covered his tracks.

  Alan Beam : Maybe not. Maybe not. See if you can get Hank Johnson on the phone.

  Kristin Shepard : [picks up receiver]  Overseas operator, please.
